DC People’s Counsel Sandra Mattavous-Frye '83 in The Washington Post

DC People’s Counsel Sandra Mattavous-Frye '83 was featured in recent news coverage by The
Washington Post regarding Pepco’s rate increase
request. As People’s Counsel, Ms. Mattavous-Frye represents the interests
of all utility ratepayers of electricity, natural gas and telecommunications
services in the District of
Columbia.

Sandra Mattavous-Frye, the People’s Counsel
who advocates for D.C. consumers, vowed she would fight the proposed
hike "aggressively, zealously and with all the ardor” that she "can
possibly mount.”

"The company seems to be relentless, and they
just keep coming back and back,” said Mattavous-Frye, who noted that
Pepco has won $72 million in rate hikes since 2006. "At some point, the
commission will have to say no.”
